Book
The Fields of Glory
First published 1996
The Wakefield and Morgan families are divided by the English Civil War, with inherited loyalty, religious conviction and romantic attachment pulling their descendants towards opposing camps. The conflict reaches households as well as armies and makes neutrality increasingly impossible.
The novel brings historical politics into a fictional dynastic story and includes the religious world associated with John Bunyan. Its private relationships are imaginative, while the war and confessional tensions provide the documented framework.
